Doctor Notes vs DeepScribe

Updated June 2026 · By Raj Lakhani, Founder

DeepScribe is an enterprise-grade ambient scribe with one of the highest KLAS scores in the category, specialty-specific models, coding suggestions and deep EHR write-back. It’s built for clinics and health systems and priced by quote. Doctor Notes is the other end of the market: self-serve, from $99 a month (Standard, up to 300 notes; $199 for up to 600 on Pro), for an individual doctor, with a cited clinical second-read on every note. If you run a clinic that needs deep EHR integration, DeepScribe is the stronger fit. If you’re a doctor who wants to sign up today and start, that’s me.

DeepScribe and Doctor Notes barely compete — they’re built for different buyers. This is mostly here to help you tell quickly which kind of tool you actually need.

Where Doctor Notes is better

  • Self-serve: sign up and start in minutes, no sales call or contract.
  • From $99 a month — up to 300 notes, or $199 for up to 600 on Pro — instead of an enterprise quote.
  • A cited clinical second-read on every note.
  • A per-visit A&P co-pilot you own: attach an x-ray or lab and it drafts and double-checks your Assessment & Plan — no enterprise rollout required.

Where DeepScribe is better

  • Deep EHR write-back and integration for a whole clinic or system.
  • Specialty-specific models and coding suggestions.
  • One of the highest KLAS scores in the category, and a track record with large organisations.

So which should you pick?

If you want built-in coding, direct EHR integration, or the widest template library, the other tool is probably the better fit — and I’d rather you knew that here than found out after signing up. If you want simple, predictable pricing — $99 a month for up to 300 notes, or $199 for up to 600 on Pro — a tool built for doctors only, and a cited clinical second-read on every note — red flags and citations from PubMed, Europe PMC and the FDA label — that’s what I built Doctor Notes to do.

Frequently asked

Is Doctor Notes an alternative to DeepScribe?

For an individual doctor or a very small practice, yes — it’s simpler, self-serve, and from $99 a month (up to 300 notes; $199 for up to 600 on Pro). For a clinic or health system that needs deep EHR write-back, DeepScribe is built for that and Doctor Notes isn’t.

Does Doctor Notes integrate with my EHR like DeepScribe?

Not the same way. Doctor Notes gives you clean text to copy and paste into any EHR. DeepScribe does deeper write-back integrations, which is part of why it’s an enterprise product.

What does Doctor Notes do that DeepScribe doesn’t?

A cited clinical second-read on every note, and a price you can sign up for yourself without a sales process.
